Let Me Entertain You !! - 304F

This was one of my most ambitious cake designs !!
He stood just over 2ft tall .I made a base of 2 wooden dowels upto his waist and then guessed the shape he would be and cut a piece of mdf then glued the dowels and cut piece in place . Using melted marshmallows and rice crispies covered his legs up to the board , then a thin covering of fondant . I then put a third dowel in the top of this upto just above his neck line , a 10inch sponge was used for his body , put over the top dowel in layers with buttercream and jam fillings , then covered in fondant .The head was a ball of more rice crispy treat then i sculpted the face , put on ears in fleash coloured fondant and the chest and belly , coloured more fondant black and put on his arms and costume , a bit of hair some black makeup and a few hundred dots later Robbie lives on !!!

A question ! When do you call yourself a pro if you have never had any training ?
If someone asked the question , what would qualify you to be a professional without a piece of paper or training to say so ?
